News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Drops Down to Third in Another Quiet Week for PS4
Crash and burn
Nintendo has once again rained on Crash Bandicoot's parade. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has been pushed back to third place as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe boosts to the front of the pack in the latest physical chart. It's a quiet week yet again for PlayStation 4 software. Mortal Kombat 11 has made a giant leap up the chart from 40th to...
News UK Sales Charts: Not Even Microtransactions Can Prompt Crash Team Racing to Take a Pitstop
Out in front
Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled may currently be on the naughty step following its inclusion of controversial microtransactions, but that hasn’t stopped the remastered racer from lapping the competition, where it’s enjoyed a second consecutive week at the summit of the UK sales charts. In truth this was a largely uneventful month,...
News July 2019 NPD: Madden NFL 20 Enters the Red Zone
Slow month for Sony overall
Console hardware sales were down 22 per cent year-over-year in July 2019, as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One continue to grow a little long in the tooth. Sony’s pricing stubbornness has allowed the Nintendo Switch to comfortably top the console charts, which is the only system to experience growth so far this year. It...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Reclaims Number One Despite Sales Decline
Coasting
You know it's a slow week in game sales when the title atop the chart is down 14 per cent. Nonetheless, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has pulled ahead, and takes number one once again. A lack of new releases means the chart may look familiar if you've been keeping tabs on it each week. F1 2019 and Red Dead Redemption 2 climbed back into...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V Battle for First Place
Clash of the titans
The staying power of games like Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V is incredibly impressive. These two juggernauts are always among the most popular games on PlayStation Store, but for the month of July, they made the most of a quiet release schedule. In North America, the blocky craft-em-up takes the top spot, while Rockstar's...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Can't Topple Fire Emblem
A bold strategy, Cotton
Fire Emblem: Three Houses rules the roost in its second week in the latest physical UK chart, and it's fending off some stiff competition. FIFA 19 is up to number two following store promotions, while Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled keeps a steady pace, crossing the line in third place for another week. Madden NFL 20 debuts...
News UK Sales Charts: Wolfenstein: Youngblood Settles for Second as Nintendo Strikes Again
Did Nazi that coming
We're not sure what kind of strategic manoeuvre Nintendo has pulled off, but it's worked well for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which takes number one in the physical UK chart. It means that Bethesda's major new release, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, has had to make do with second place. Facing this new competition, Crash Team Racing...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Back at Number One After Amazon Prime Day
Price crash
The UK physical chart is a little late this week, but it's at least seen some interesting changes thanks to Amazon's Prime Day offers. Everyone's favourite bandicoot is back atop the chart with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, fending off fierce competition from a couple of Nintendo Switch exclusives. Perhaps more interesting is the...
News June 2019 NPD: Days of Play Does the Business for PS4
Massive increase for PS4 exclusives
Sony’s annual Days of Play promotion has become a big part of the PlayStation calendar, with a surprising number of exclusive titles making the June 2019 NPD software best-sellers list. Discounted favourites such as Marvel’s Spider-Man, Days Gone, MLB The Show 19, and God of War all made the month’s Top 20...
Another quiet week
The latest physical UK games chart will look pretty familiar if you saw last week's. With very few changes to the top 10, it's clear most Brits are enjoying the sunshine. According to GamesIndustry.biz, only 148,107 boxed games were sold in total, and selling 2,500 copies would get you into the top 10. An extremely quiet week for...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Is Top in Europe
But not even on the podium in the US
When it comes to games released in June, the first one that springs to mind is Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Activision's kart racing remake has proven to be very popular, but it seems that North America is less interested in the bandicoot's latest -- at least on the PlayStation Store, anyway. The game was...
News UK Sales Charts: Nintendo Dominates in a Quiet Week for PS4
CTR still on the podium
There might be a few multiplatform games in the UK's latest top 10, but Nintendo has undeniably taken it this week. The company has four exclusives among the bestsellers, and that's of course including Super Mario Maker 2, which is number one for a second week. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is the best performing...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Almost Makes Number One in Second Week
But Mario gets the jump
Last week's chart saw Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled get off to a flying start. It debuted at number one with the third largest launch of the year, but a major Nintendo release has prevented it from coming in first in its second week on sale. Super Mario Maker 2 drops a Nitro crate in front of the kart racing remake, and so...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Leads the Pack
Third biggest launch of the year
As if there was any doubt, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled boost-chained its way to a number one debut in the latest physical UK chart. According to GamesIndustry, it now holds the second highest launch week sales for the franchise -- the first being Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Furthermore, it's behind only Days...
News UK Sales Charts: Days of Play Keeps FIFA 19 Ahead of the Pack
Deal or no deal
Sony's Days of Play sale, which comes to an end today, has once again shaped the physical UK chart. With heavy price promotions carrying over nearly two weeks, the top three games remain the same, while the rest of the top 10 sees a bit of movement. FIFA 19 keeps hold of first place, while PlayStation 4 exclusives Days Gone and...
News UK Digital Charts: Blood & Truth Third for Downloads, But First Overall
GTA V number one on digital
The digital charts sure do throw out some interesting curve balls. The latest results, which relate to the week ending 1st June 2019, have some astronomical leaps up the charts from games on sale. This is only the second time we've seen the digital chart for the UK, but it's proving to be far more unpredictable than the...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 Is Number One as Days of Play Sale Shakes Up the Top 10
Spider-Man swings back into the chart
In case you haven't been paying attention, the huge Days of Play sale from Sony has gotten underway recently, and as expected, it's playing havoc with the physical UK chart. FIFA 19 takes the top spot in a competitive top 10, which also sees the return of a couple of PlayStation exclusives. Days Gone jumps up...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Minecraft Digs Up a Unanimous Victory
Taking things up a Notch
Of all the games to top the PlayStation Store download charts last month, we wouldn't have predicted Minecraft. The ever popular build-em-up has been available on PS4 for nearly five years, so why has it topped both the North American and European charts? Well, the game was recently updated with a bunch of new items, so...
News The First Digital Games UK Chart Is Finally Here, and It's Very Different
All change
Remember how we were meant to be getting digital charts as well as physical ones for the UK? It seems to finally be happening, as GamesIndustry has just shared the first all-formats top 10 for digital sales. The result is wildly different to the physical charts,
News UK Sales Charts: Blood & Truth Is the First VR Title to Claim Number One
Would you Adam and Eve it
Blimey, guvnor! It's only gone and bloody done it. Blood & Truth, London Studio's explosive PlayStation VR exclusive action game, has made it to the very top of the UK physical chart. According to GamesIndustry, it's the first VR-only game to achieve this feat, likely thanks to a combination of strong marketing and...
News UK Sales Charts: Team Sonic Racing Is First Across the Line
Nice work, team
New, notable game releases are thin on the ground at the moment, but every now and again something big comes along to change up the UK chart. Last week, RAGE 2 toppled Days Gone from the top spot, but Bethesda's open world shooter has in turn been overtaken by co-op racer Team Sonic Racing. Sumo Digital's third kart racing title...
News April 2019 NPD: Days Gone Lands Huge Launch, But Can't Lay a Glove on MK11
MLB The Show 19 still hitting home runs
Days Gone secured the seventh biggest Sony-published debut in US history, but still couldn’t stop the Mortal Kombat 11 juggernaut, which topped the respective sales charts for all four formats it released on. According to NPD data, the brutal brawler is already the second best-selling title of 2019 in...
News UK Sales Charts: RAGE 2 Knocks Days Gone Off Its Number One Perch
All the rage?
It took three weeks, but a new game has ended Days Gone's stint at number one in the UK physical chart. RAGE 2 debuts in the top spot, meaning Sony's successful open world survival game has to settle for second place this time. According to GamesIndustry, though, it's not quite as rosy a result as it
News UK Sales Charts: Days Gone Is Number One for Third Week Running
Escaping the horde
Sony must be pretty pleased with the sales performance of Days Gone. Bend Studio's survival horror open world appears to have resonated well with a lot of PlayStation 4 fans, as it's doing well in various territories. In the UK, it's now topped the weekly physical chart for the third time in a row. In fact, it's not the only game...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Days Gone and Mortal Kombat 11 Duke It Out for the Top Spot
Freakers vs fatalities
April saw the arrival of a few large game releases on PlayStation 4, including a brand new exclusive title in Days Gone. Bend Studio's Freaker-infested open world has been performing well in terms of sales, but how about on PlayStation Store? The blogs for North America and Europe have been updated with digital sales...
News UK Sales Charts: Days Gone Retains Top Spot for Second Week
Boozer Britain
Days Gone has retained its position at the top of the UK sales charts for a second successive week, following a not too dramatic 60 per cent drop in sales week-over-week. Mortal Kombat 11's numbers dipped by a more substantial 74 per cent, so the first-party exclusive remained at the summit of the best sellers list. Elsewhere, the...
News UK Sales Charts: Days Gone Rides Past Mortal Kombat 11 to Claim the Top Spot
Freaking out
Last week saw the release of Mortal Kombat 11, a highly anticipated sequel in a long-running franchise, and Days Gone, a PS4 exclusive new IP. Of the two, you'd think the former would have the better launch in terms of sales, but it's actually Bend Studio's Freaker infested open world that takes number one -- in the UK chart, at least...
News March 2019 NPD: MLB The Show 19 Sets a Genre Sales Record
The Division 2, Sekiro start strong
It was a March 2019 of hardware dominance in the United States for the Nintendo Switch, as the ageing PlayStation 4 and Xbox One continue their natural downturn ahead of the new generation. Overall industry spend for the month was down 11 per cent year-over-year, with hardware seeing the most significant decline...
News UK Sales Charts: World War Z Fends Off Zombies from the Top Spot
You've got red on you
The Division 2 has been knocked off its perch atop the physical UK chart by World War Z, the zombie shooter from Focus Home Interactive. It's a very strong debut for the publisher, which last enjoyed a number one result with Vampyr. Ubisoft's looter shooter didn't fall too far, though -- it's now in third behind FIFA 19, which...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division 2 Remains on Top in Another Quiet Week
No new releases enter the top 10
It's been another slow week in terms of new releases, which means all our usual favourites are still trading places in the UK physical chart. The Division 2 is firmly rooted at number one, with FIFA 19 scoring another second place. Red Dead Redemption 2 has climbed back onto the podium in third, while Grand Theft...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts The Division 2 Shoots to the Top
Gun game
The monthly PlayStation Store charts for March are out, and it's no surprise to see The Division 2 take the number one spot in both Europe and North America. Ubisoft's looter shooter was always going to be popular, so a win for the digital version was expected. It beats both
News UK Sales Charts: The Division 2 Is Back at Number One in Slow Week
Nothing to see here
In an uneventful week in the gaming release schedule, the physical UK chart hasn't changed all that much. With a lack of new releases, there hasn't been much of an impact on the best sellers. Ubisoft's The Division 2 is back at the top, while Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice slips down to fifth. The bottom end of the top 10 sees the...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Battle to Stay on the Podium
Guns vs. swords
Ubisoft and Activision are up against each other at the top of the physical UK chart this week, as both of their latest major titles fight to stay in the top three. Yoshi's Crafted World sits atop the chart in its debut week, but The Division 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice round off the best sellers in second and third respectively...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Sekiro Cleaves Its Way Straight to Number 1 on PS4
PS4's not doing too bad, either
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has done very well in Japan, where it's managed to immediately top the software charts. The brutal action title sold a hefty 158,000 copies on PS4, a strong figure that suggests it's been a hit for developer From Software and publisher Activision. Well deserved, we'd argue. Below that, the...
News UK Sales Charts: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Sneaks into Number One Spot
Death defying
Last week's biggest game release was undoubtedly Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice from Activision and From Software, and although it only launched on Friday, it still managed a number one debut. It stops The Division 2 from securing a second week at the top, although Ubisoft's looter shooter has only stepped down to second place. The...
News February 2019 NPD: ANTHEM Lands BioWare's Second Highest US Launch
Singing from the right hymn sheet
ANTHEM hasn’t been a complete and utter failure – well, assuming you ignore virtually everything to do with the game itself. The title topped the February 2019 NPD charts in the United States, registering the second highest launch for a BioWare title of all time. It’s only outpaced by Mass Effect 3, which you...
News Japanese Sales Charts: The Division 2 Beats One Piece: World Seeker on PS4
Looted
The latest Japanese software charts are in, and it's The Division 2 that's snagged the top spot this time around. Ubisoft's open world looter shooter did a decent 64,000 copies on PlayStation 4 at retail, which was enough to propel it straight to number one. Not too far behind was One Piece: World Seeker with 51,000 copies. That's not...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division 2 Shoots to the Top Spot
But falls short of first game's launch
Unsurprisingly, Ubisoft's shared world shooter The Division 2 has stormed to number one for its debut in the UK physical chart. This echoes the early success of the game's predecessor, although according to GamesIndustry, the sequel sold only a fifth of what the original game managed in its first week. This is...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Devil May Cry 5 Debuts in Number One Spot
Capgod
As you might've been expecting, Devil May Cry 5 has made a strong start in Japan, coming in atop the software chart by some margin. It sold just over 100,000 copies in its first three days, putting it comfortably in the lead, but it's actually a low point for the series in terms of launch week sales. Devil May Cry 4 sold about double when it...
News UK Sales Charts: Devil May Cry 5 Debuts in Smokin' Sexy Style at Number One
Another success for Capcom
We all know Capcom's over-the-top actioner Devil May Cry 5 is brilliant, and it turns out British gamers think so too. The acclaimed sequel has brought the series back into the limelight atop the physical chart, a feat not achieved by the series since the divisive DmC: Devil May Cry from Ninja Theory. According to GFK, the...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts ANTHEM Is Top of the Pops
Going digital
ANTHEM might have had a rocky launch, but it seems to have done alright for itself commercially so far. Sony has revealed the PlayStation Store's most downloaded games for the month of February in North America and Europe, and EA's loot shooter is number one in both regions. In the US, Jump Force com
News Japanese Sales Charts: Dead or Alive 6 Barely Makes It to the Top on PS4
It didn't do great
Dead or Alive 6 has topped the latest Japanese software charts, but not by much. Only just beating out the evergreen Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Koei Tecmo's fighter managed a meagre 26,000 copies. We're hoping that Dead or Alive 6 did a bit better digitally, because that total is pretty darn low, and it's only going to get lower...
News UK Sales Charts: ANTHEM Holds Off New Releases for Another Number One
Sing it loud
Despite the launch of several new titles last week, it's EA's ANTHEM that takes number one in the latest UK chart. It may be facing problems, but the sci-fi shooter is atop the chart for the second week in a row, once again holding off the likes of FIFA 19 and Far Cry: New Dawn. New releases haven't done too badly, though. The LEGO...
News Japanese Sales Charts: ANTHEM Flies into First Place on PS4
Singing from the top
Reported earlier this week, ANTHEM topped the latest UK charts, but its numbers were apparently rather low, meaning that many are expecting it to drop like a rock. Funnily enough, it looks like the same thing could be happening in Japan, where BioWare's sci-fi shooter flew straight to the top of the pile on PS4. ANTHEM managed...
News UK Sales Charts: ANTHEM Is Number One Despite Underwhelming Start
Singing a bum note
In spite of some pretty damning analysis, ANTHEM soared straight to the number one spot in the UK's weekly retail chart. BioWare's looter shooter released to a rather cold reception, and even though it's atop the chart, it appears to have underperformed. The developer's last game, Mass Effect: Andromeda, sold more than double in...
News January 2019 NPD: Kingdom Hearts III, Resident Evil 2 Top Sales Charts
But industry down 19 per cent year-over-year
The first NPD result of the year is in, and the industry slipped to a 19 per cent year-over-year decline in the United States – despite titles like Kingdom Hearts III and Resident Evil 2 putting in a decent performance. The drop can be directly attributed to slipping hardware and software sales, as...
News Japanese Sales Charts: A Big Week for PS4 Sees Jump Force, Catherine, and More Break Top 10
But PS4 hardware stays the same
It's been a busy week in Japan as far as new releases on PS4 are concerned. Jump Force (perhaps unsurprisingly) topped the software charts, moving a decent 77,000 copies. Not too far behind in second place was Catherine: Full Body with 52,000 copies. The Vita version of Full Body didn't quite make the top ten, but it...
News UK Sales Charts: Far Cry: New Dawn Takes the Lead Despite a Disappointing Debut
Beats out Metro: Exodus
Last week saw the arrival of a few new games, but it's Far Cry: New Dawn that takes the top spot at UK retail. The series has always sold well, and Far Cry 5 was one of last year's best selling games overall. However, despite debuting at number one, New Dawn's opening week was dramatically down on the previous title, selling...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 Drop Off the Top
A gradual decline
It's been another slow week for software sales in Japan, as Kingdom Hearts III and Resident Evil 2 have taken an inevitable tumble off the top after two weeks of reigning supreme. The former fell from first into second, while the latter dropped from second to fourth. No new releases knocked them off, either -- it's just a case of...
News UK Sales Charts: Red Dead Redemption 2 Shoots Back to the Top
Wanted
Rootin' tootin' open world western Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn't ever moved far from the top spot, but it makes a triumphant return to number one in the UK's latest physical chart. It swaps positions with the recent RPG Kingdom Hearts III, now in third place after debuting at the front of the pack. Another mainstay, FIFA 19, climbs back up...
